So Nova-Creighton basically did the same as Marquette-UConn and tOSU-Maryland on the same network, same day. I find that a little odd, a little heartening.

And I think having the Nova-Creighton game being played at 8:30PM on a Sunday and getting those numbers is really good for the conference.

ESPN kind of screwed B12 by tipping off 30m after B10 title game started. I feel like we could've gotten a lot more eyeballs if we delayed tip an hour or more.

ESPN want these games back to back. That's what they do with Sundays during basketball season. They don't care about going up against the BIG10.

However, slotting the B12 game between the ACC and SEC games would have made more sense. Would have been interesting to see the SEC Championship numbers if that game tipped off at 5 pm.

How the B1G game do? Anyone know?

I'm curious as well, especially with it being on CBS. Think that's the only game the network covered all season for the women's side.

If below Clark heights, women's conference title games still in record territory

No game could reach last year's star-studded heights, but viewership remained strong for women's college basketball conference title games.

SCar v Texas 1.3 million
Duke v NC State 833k
TCU v Baylor 759k
UConn v Creighton 492k

These numbers are really encouraging to see, especially with the fact it's happening across different networks.

The real deal...CBS vs ESPN. The free eyes vs paying eyes. CBS had a built-in advantage with having it on free television. That only got them 100k more viewers.

Give ‘em time. They’re learning . Let’s see if we can get 2 million working together this Fall - for each game.

Not sure the JuJu numbers are encouraging. USC v UCLA on CBS drew the same audience for the Big Ten Championship that USC versus Stanford drew last year for the PAC-12 Championship on ESPN. After season long JuJu hype, and with UCLA the opponent for round 3, I would have expected more than 1.44 million.

Some were predicting a drop off with Clark going onto the WNBA even with Juju still playing. Seeing 1M+ continue and the tournament has yet to happen is encouraging to me.

Last year was unusual, and a drop off was to be expected, but I thought the combined star power of USC, with JuJu and Kiki, and UCLA, with Betts and Rice, would minimize the magnitude of the drop off. I didn’t expect USC-UCLA to draw less than half what Iowa-Nebraska drew in the same game last year on the same network.

It's hard to gauge what would considered fair for a drop considering the phenomenon of Clark. Seeing 1.4M when this game wasn't drawing 1 million people 2 to 3 years ago seems like a good thing to me.

So what you're saying is it would be in the best interests of WCBB for Stanford to return to playing in conference championships ASAP, right?
